Watching your child go off to college can be confusing. You’re so proud of them for going, but you miss them instantly. You look forward to every holiday when they can come home. Deanna Pilling took an extra step for her college student, McKenna. She went to visit her.

End Of The Semester

McKenna Pilling was just finishing up her first semester at Utah State University. Her whole family was ecstatic about McKenna coming home for a bit before the next semester started. Since college homework is a pain, McKenna hadn’t had time to pack her dorm by the time the semester ended.

Surprise!!

The room was almost entirely packed up so Deanna didn’t have much to do. Just sitting around the room started to make her sleepy but sleeping would ruin the surprise Deanna had worked so hard to create. Instead, she just laid on the bed and took a selfie! She texted it to her daughter and asked where she was.
